Garage Museum Security Head Found Guilty of LGBT* Propaganda
The head of security at the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art was found guilty of promoting LGBT* and extremist symbolism under Russian administrative laws, following the display of a video showing two men declaring love and a photo of an orange cart with alleged 'rose of the winds' symbolism. The museum's director was not charged, as the security head acted under power of attorney during the director's absence.
